The Strokes - Going Shopping
67

It's ok.

I kept seeing people acting very pessimisstic about the autotuned vocals, so I went into this song expecting the worst only to leave thinking "the autotune isn't as bad as people make it out to be."

They Might Be Giants - Lincoln
82

After multiple instances of my friend asking if I've listened to They Might Be Giants, I finally got around to check out their most popular album, Lincoln. Now that I've given this a listen, I gotta say.... hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog, this was a creatively charming and fun collection of songs.

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
85

WORLD'S NUMBER 1 RELAPSE FAN DROPS ANOTHER BANGER!!!

advantage Lucy - ファンファーレ [Fanfare]
93

An album that's both quirky and comforting at the same time.

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars
76

Car Seat Headrest just released another 70 minute long album. We are so back.

IDLES - Brutalism
73

I don't think listening to a Scottish man aggressively ramble over punk instrumentals is really my cup of tea, but it's enjoyable enough.

Japanese Breakfast - For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)
83

Nice to hear Michelle Zauner unleash her inner Sufjan.

Coldplay - Parachutes
67

Diet Radiohead.

Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park
82

If there's one word that immediately came to mind when starting this album, it would be elegant. This is only the second country album that I've ever fully listened to (the first being Harvest by Neil Young), and I gotta say, I thoroughly enjoyed it throughout the whole run time. It's well crafted, elegantly arranged, and at times even has feel good moments that gave me a sense of warmth. I'd probably rate it even higher if it wasn't for the fact that country music ... read more

1 Trait Danger - 1 Trait High
68

I actually unironically think there are some banger moments on this album. The Car Seat Headrest folks achieved their goal of making an intentionally obnoxious collection of songs, but I knew exactly what I was getting into, so I enjoyed most of the project for what it is, and I even got some laughs from time to time. Halfway through the album, however, my enjoyment became very rocky for the rest of the tracks, starting with Alien Boy, which I simply found flat out annoying and I couldn't ... read more

Neil Young - Harvest
80

Finally, country music I can enjoy.

Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal
73

First few tracks on here gave me a lot of 90s hip hop vibes with its minimalistic beats, which is a plus in my book. Most of the tracks in the middle actually reminded me a lot of Kendrick, specifically good kid m.A.A.d city, which isn't really a bad thing, but I couldn't help but automatically get reminded of that album due how similar the beats and flow sounded to my ears. The last few tracks were probably the most modern sounding to me in terms of rap influence. I unfortunately ... read more

Metric - Fantasies
84

Fantasies is 42 minutes but it feels much shorter whenever I come back to it, and believe me when I say that I've been listening to this album on repeat for the past two weeks since I heard it. It's so catchy and each song on the album hits.

Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride
78

I'm surprised by how much I thoroughly enjoyed this album. It's catchy, intricate, and there's some neat ambition on this album that I appreciate. It does kind of overstay it's welcome, and I am iffy about the use of autotune on here (which reminds me too much of how Kanye autotunes his voice), but it's a pretty good album nonetheless.

She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge
64

Sonically, this album is really nice but it's often bogged down by the one-note vocals, long run time, and goofy lyrics that sound like they belong in a juvenile pop punk album. I don't think this album needed to be over 60 minutes because it starts to drag over time and I was just waiting for it to end. The album is still decent but it's defenitely one of the weaker post-punk revival albums I've heard thus far.

The National - Boxer
57

I'm sorry The National fans, but I just get bored every time I listen to this album and I can never remember a track on here other than Fake Empire.

Editors - The Back Room
79

As soon as I heard the first second of this album's opening track, my immediate thought in my head was "OMG it's British Interpol!"

Bloc Party - HYMNS
54

Imagine if Bloc Party made a bunch of watered down versions of Compliments off of Silent Alarm and made it into a whole album. That is basically Hymns in a nutshell. The most enjoyable parts on this album are the songs that have guitars, but they're few and far between and aren't very memorable. I didn't even realize this album had drums until the second to last track on here. Do the rest of the songs have drums as well? Either way, I'm not interested enough to re-listen to ... read more
